DICK CLARK, lont-standing founder and host of American Bandstand, New Year's Rockin' Eve, and an amazing, awe-inspiring evangelist and indomitable and undisputed icon of teenagers for several generations (Dick was often referred to as the "Eternal Teenager" passed yesterday after battling and beating the effects of a stroke which had suffered approximately 10 years ago, of an apparent myocardial infarction.
More than a promoter, a show host, a star-maker and a legend in his own right, Dick was also a brilliantly tenacious and enormously successful entrepreneur and businessman. He was truly admired, respected and trusted by his friends and colleagues through the popular music industry.
He will be missed, but he will remain a permanent fixture in some of our greatest memories. Thank you for your immeasurable contribution to so many lives.
Goodbye, godspeed and send my best to the band of angels in Rock n' Roll Heaven.
Today, The RadioDAZZ Blog and Douglas E. Castle will pay our respects with a moment of silence. Amen.
